Sphere Theorem for Manifolds with Positive Curvature
In this paper, we prove that, for any integer n ≥ 2, there exists an ǫn ≥ 0 so that if M is an n-dimensional complete manifold with sectional curvature KM ≥ 1 and if M has conjugate radius bigger than π 2 and contains a geodesic loop of length 2(π − ǫn), then M is diffeomorphic to the Euclidian unit sphere S.
متن کاملAn Exotic Sphere with Positive Sectional Curvature Peter Petersen and Frederick Wilhelm
Prior to this major breakthrough, there were many partial results. Starting with Gromoll and Shikata ([Grom] and [Shik]) and more recently Suyama ([Suy]) it was shown that if one allows for a stronger pinching hypothesis δ ≤ sec ≤ 1 for some δ close to 1, then, in the simply connected case, the manifold is diffeomorphic to a sphere. In the opposite direction, Weiss showed that not all exotic sp...
متن کاملRiemannian Manifolds with Positive Sectional Curvature
It is fair to say that Riemannian geometry started with Gauss’s famous ”Disquisitiones generales” from 1827 in which one finds a rigorous discussion of what we now call the Gauss curvature of a surface. Much has been written about the importance and influence of this paper, see in particular the article [Do] by P.Dombrowski for a careful discussion of its contents and influence during that time...
متن کاملConformal Quaternionic Contact Curvature and the Local Sphere Theorem
Abstract. A curvature-type tensor invariant called quaternionic contact (qc) conformal curvature is defined on a qc manifolds in terms of the curvature and torsion of the Biquard connection. The discovered tensor is similar to the Weyl conformal curvature in Riemannian geometry and to the Chern-Moser invariant in CR geometry. It is shown that a qc manifold is locally qc conformal to the standar...
متن کاملOn Einstein Manifolds of Positive Sectional Curvature
Let (M,g) be a compact oriented 4-dimensional Einstein manifold. If M has positive intersection form and g has non-negative sectional curvature, we show that, up to rescaling and isometry, (M,g) is CP2, with its standard Fubini-Study metric.
